The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

This young man had a pair of eyes as clear and bright as morning dew, yet as cold as frost. They were so clear and yet so aloof. Even now, with Fang Qingyou holding his legs tightly, there was not a trace of unnaturalness on his face. His composure revealed an innate nobility.

Her jet-black hair was tied in a flawless white jade crown, cascading down her back like ink-black brocade.

The magnificent white brocade robe she wore hung down without a single wrinkle, as if the cool, clear moonlight flowed down from it.

This boy, so clear-headed, so aloof, so noble, seemed like a god from beyond the heavens, carrying an awe-inspiring majesty that this mortal world dared not profane.

Yet, a faint, almost imperceptible gentle curve seemed to be playing on his lips, as if to tell others that he was not indifferent.

However, if you look closely at the boy's expression, you will find that his gentleness seems to be a deliberate disguise, because his eyes reveal an indifferent indifference and a bone-chilling coldness hidden deep in his eyes.

The moment the boy appeared at the entrance of the county government office, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.

There were clearly other people behind him, but everyone could only see him because the rest of the people and things had become a transparent background.

Fang Qingyou was the only one in the room who managed to keep her composure, but not because she had strong willpower, but because her posture of seeking justice prevented her from seeing the young man's unparalleled talent.

Looking back on that time, Fang Qingyou was very glad that she hadn't seen the boy's true face. Otherwise, she would have been stunned and forgotten to save herself, and then she would have really died.

Fang Qingyou squeezed out tears while secretly glancing around. She then saw Zhang the matchmaker and the few burly men standing a few steps away from her, stunned and not daring to take another step forward.

At this moment, people kept pouring in, and in a short time, the entrance to the county government office was completely surrounded.

Fang Qingyou was unaware that it was actually the boy, not her, who had attracted the crowd. It was only because of her constant crying that they noticed her presence.

"Waaah, I really am a pity from heaven, heaven can't bear to kill me." Fang Qingyou breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now that she had clung tightly to the county magistrate's leg, and with so many eyes watching, it wouldn't be so easy for Zhang the matchmaker to take her away.

At this point, Fang Qingyou hugged the magistrate's legs even tighter, wiping away tears with an even more pitiful expression: "Your Honor, they are trying to rob me! Please save me!"

That heartbroken, sobbing look made her seem like a pitiful little thing driven to desperation.

Fang Qingyou's words astonished the crowd, who all turned to look in the direction she was pointing.

Right under the nose of the imperial city, in broad daylight, someone actually dared to forcibly snatch someone?

The onlookers immediately spotted Zhang the matchmaker, who was panting heavily and covered in sweat.

Ordinary people of all eras have always deeply abhorred human traffickers, and their gazes toward Zhang the matchmaker were quite fierce.

Zhang the matchmaker's heart jumped into her throat. The stares of the onlookers made her feel uneasy; they all seemed to want to kill her.

Although she was a well-known matchmaker in Liujia Village, she was nothing in Nanguan County. She would probably die here and no one would care.

The burly men huddled nervously behind Zhang the matchmaker; their courage was completely disproportionate to their size.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou was secretly delighted, but on the surface, she took the opportunity to tearfully point at Zhang the matchmaker and the others, crying, "Your Honor, it was these people who wanted to kidnap me and sell me..."

Fang Qingyou wiped her eyes with her sleeve even more frequently, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, as if she was terrified.

Fang Qingyou knew that the more pitiful she appeared, the more wicked Zhang the matchmaker would seem.

"Who are these people? How dare they be so bold?"

"Yes, they even dared to traffic people right under the capital!"

"Judging from their attire, they're probably from one of the villages on the outskirts of the county. I wonder who gave them the guts!"

"How dare you! You really don't want to live anymore..."

The onlookers chattered amongst themselves, making Zhang the matchmaker's heart pound in her chest. Human trafficking was a serious crime; if she were convicted, she would be finished.

She's standing right in front of the county government office; it's too easy for her to be thrown into jail.

Just then, the young man glanced at the matchmaker with indifferent eyes.

That glance revealed not a trace of anger.

Zhang the matchmaker shuddered violently; the young man's gaze made her feel as if she had suddenly fallen into an icy abyss in the dead of winter.

Matchmaker Zhang dared not ask if the young man was the magistrate of Nanguan County, because he gave her a truly terrifying feeling.

Seeing the two expressionless henchmen behind the boy, each with a sword at their waist, Zhang the matchmaker felt as if a gleaming knife was held to her neck, threatening her life at any moment.

"Thump—" The guilty Zhang matchmaker hurriedly knelt down in front of the young man, her expression panicked: "Sir, I'm innocent! I'm truly innocent! Sir, it wasn't me who forcibly took him away, it's just that she owes me money, and that's why I came to collect the debt! Sir, I'm really innocent!"

Matchmaker Zhang knew that her actions were indeed tantamount to human trafficking, but she was determined not to let herself be branded with that crime.

As soon as Zhang the matchmaker knelt down, the burly men also quickly knelt down heavily, trembling as they cried out, "We're innocent!"

Fang Qingyou had been waiting for this moment, and quickly replied, "Your Honor, I do owe her money, but we agreed to pay her back tomorrow. She came to see me today, and brought so many people with her. She didn't even let me speak before saying she was going to kidnap me and take me away! Your Honor, do you think she's using this as an excuse to collect a debt in order to kidnap and sell me?"

As soon as Fang Qingyou finished speaking, the onlookers echoed her sentiments, all expressing their sympathy for her.

"Look at how skinny this kid is, he looks like a gust of wind could blow him over. Why would we need so many people to collect a debt?"

"Exactly! Bringing so many people along clearly indicates they have ulterior motives!"

"This old woman is simply kidnapping people by force!"

An indignant old woman in gray said directly to the boy, "Sir, this woman has a vicious look on her face and is obviously no good! If she really wanted to collect a debt from this boy, her fat body alone could probably crush him. Why would she need to bring these men with her? I think this woman is a human trafficker. Sir, please arrest her and bring her to justice!"

Zhang the matchmaker's face turned pale. Was this damned woman trying to kill her?

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou almost burst out laughing. She hugged the old lady and spun her around a few times, exclaiming, "Auntie, you're definitely my dear auntie! You're so adorable!"
